24. Pirates
In 2010, Somali pirates were holding 544 seafarers hostage. Every year, more than 2,000 sailors die at sea, and an incredible two ships are lost every day. In 2012, the attack rates on seafarers was higher than the number of violent crimes in South Africa, the highest-crime nation on Earth.

#5 is a lie!
The newest ships will carry 8800 20foot containers no more.
That is 53644,8meters the earth is @ 36000km at equator 1/2 of that is 18000km. Compare that to the 53½km of the containers.
Even if the thruth is stretched and they ment 40foot containers they are still a factor 100 wrong.

#1 (25) must be pure nonsense. they have marine band radio at the very least, possibly other types as well. and most bigger outfits would also be crazy not to have satellite dish-driven cell phones and such.
